Vehicles and driving in Benoni

Benoni is known as the City of Lakes, with Homestead Lake, Benoni Lake and several dams giving the town a weekend boating and outdoor culture that brings trailer and caravan wiring work. On its fringes, agricultural holdings around Benoni AH, Brentwood Park and Rynfield keep older bakkies, farm vehicles and horseboxes on the road. The R21 and N12 give quick links to the airport and Johannesburg, while Daveyton and Etwatwa generate heavy minibus taxi traffic. Light industrial areas such as Apex and New Modder support small workshops and fleets. Cold winter mornings and summer lightning both take a toll on batteries.
